Hi all, First of all, I'm sorry to be so late to reply but I didn't get answer the first week, so I thought I was wrong asking such a thing and gave up...
Today, I was browsing through my log4j mail folder and discover that people actually answered. :) On Sat, 17 May 2003, robert burrell donkin wrote: > Herve - if you want to build from source from a download that's as small > as possible, i'm not really clear about how you are going to manage > dependencies (which - from what i can see - are mainly used for optional > components). you'll want just the source code (not the unit tests) plus a > minimal build script. That's not a problem, as the log4j library will be installed using the FreeBSD ports system, which handles dependencies. Every Java library JAR file is installed in a particular directory of the system so we may add it to the classpath when needed. That's mainly why the policy is to build everything up from source, so we are sure that any needed dependency is there where building. This basically means that the FreeBSD would use the former build.xml but does only need the source files. BTW, I recommend FreeBSD as a Java developement platform, as it has got quite stable implementations of Java 1.1 to 1.4 (from Sun and IBM). It also provides a nice and clean way to manage the various Java libraries (that I described above). Thanks for your contribution.
